MY SHINING STAR

My Shining Star
(c)1983 Stephanie Whatley (I was 14 years old when I wrote this)


There is a small dim light
Shining my way
I see it more clearly
Day after day

I see it twinkling
Day and night
It becomes a little brighter-
That small dim light

It is coming toward me,
Is it a falling star?
Now it is closer
It is not quite as far.

It is a symbol of something
That comes from above,
It is a symbol of you (God)
It is a symbol of love.

Now I understand
Why it grew so bright!
The dimness in it
Was only fright.

Now the dimness has
Turned to gold
For it is very bright
And so much love it holds!

I have never seen anything
Quite like it before,
You are what I love,
My shining star! (Jesus)
